Abstract

Castleman’s disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown aetiology.
It has two clinical expressions. The localized form, which usually
presents as a slow growing mass and the multicentric form, where tumoural
involvement is multilocated. Mediastinal involvement is the most common
location of presentation. Parapharyngeal involvement is very rare and, to
our knowledge, five pediatric parapharyngeal Castleman’s disease have
been reported. We describe the case of a 14-year-old female child who
was diagnosed as having parapharyngeal Castleman’s disease.

Parafarengeal Yerleşimli Pediatrik Castleman Hastalığı: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Castleman hastalığı, nedeni ve etyolojisi belli olmayan nadir bir lenfoproliferatif
hastalıktır. İki klinik formu vardır. Lokalize form; genellikle yavaş
büyüyen kitle şeklinde kendini gösterir. Multisentrik form ise, birden fazla
anatomik bölgeyi tutar. Hastalık en sık mediastinal bölgede yerleşir. Parafarengeal
yerleşim ise çok nadir olup, literatüre bakıldığında bizim ulaşabildiğimiz
kadarıyla çocukluk çağında toplam beş parafarengeal yerleşimli
Castleman hastalığı vakası bildirilmiştir. Bu yazıda, parafarengeal yerleşimli
Castleman hastalığı tanısı alan, 14 yaşında bir kız hasta sunulmuştur.
